Hmm, whaddya think... (updated)
Got some Z32 TT wheels and tires for dirt cheap. They're staggered but I'm thinking of running the rears up front for awhile and picking up another set of rears off of someone else soon. Tell me what you think.
Wheels/tires (rears are bald though):
On the car:
245/45 vs 215/55:
Ohhhh you's a nasty biitch... nice and wide
Yeah, ordered new 245s and then I'll mount em/post pics. They should be here in 3 or so days.

Unfortunately I'm a little short on cash, so I'm wrapping the rears (well fronts in my case 
) with 245/45R16 Ecsta 712s. The fronts are 225/50R16 RE750s.
Thanks for the comments, once I put the wheels on the car I immediately fell in love with them.

Surprised no one's noticed that the wheel's on backwards...
Oh well. Yeah, I'd like to see it without the monster gap as well, but the wider tires have no pressure in 'em so I didn't want to drop it on 'em. I think I'm going to go put the 225s on the front for now, since my car already has two types of wheels on it, hahaha. I'll post some more pics in this thread then.
Again, thanks for the comments guys.

I actually really like the looks as well though.

Okay, I put the two 225s on the front of the car, and am lucky that I did so:
Anyway, here are a few pics. The handling response is greatly improved and it really sticks to the road.
Before, rear pass. side wheel/tire:
Before, front pass. side wheel/tire:
After, front wheel/tire:

215/55 in rear and 225/50 in front
That's quite a lot of meat, and that's not even a 245... and yeah they're quite dusty, as is my entire car, but I'm going to clean it off soon, don't you worry.

Oh well. I'm sure I'll want to experiment with putting the rears on the front and vice versa, so your jack will get plenty of exercise sooner or later.
Rears will be coming in a few days, I'll get em mounted and hopefully by friday or saturday I'll have a full set of Z32TT wheels on my car.
